E38... what about an 65-85mph shimmy?

I've read a lot about the 45 or the 55 mph shimmy, but my ride does it above 65 mph as high as 85 mph and sometimes during heavy breaking and sometimes when just cruising in a straight line. I would imagine that I would have to replace both control and thrust arms, but can anyone confirm that there isn't a deeper problem? Please help, thanks.

It's definitely something in front suspension. WWW.e38.org has an excellent article on replacing all parts, and I was able to replace all parts for about $700 including the cost of a front end service kit.
